"Phew, I finally raised the skill proficiency of the Two Blade Style to 1000 (completely accomplished)." Kirito wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead due to the intense training. This was originally impossible in the virtual world.

However, it is now given a body by the Holy Grail because of the Holy Grail War, so... the current body is no longer virtual data simulated in the virtual world, but a real body that can feel everything in real life.

I looked back at the villa of the Einzbern family. Everyone inside was already asleep. There was no light at all in the castle-like villa. If you looked at it from a distance, you would be as dark as Deku.

La's castle rivaled.

After thinking about it, Kirito decided to go to bed. He was originally a sleepy person, but he had been walking in the maze in order to improve his level. Sometimes he would even spend the night in it. He would spend at least twenty dollars a day.

Stay on the front line for hours.

Just when Kirito was about to go back to his room to sleep, he was stunned by the sudden sound of prompts in his brain. You know, except for some assistance needed for combat, the HP and MP display bars are gone, so...

What is this voice?

Listening, Kirito's expression became more and more weird, and it was actually mixed with deep joy, because...

"Absolute sword skills... what a set of random sword skills." Kirito shook his head and muttered to himself. Just now, the system prompted him to obtain a new skill. The name of this set of skills.

It's called - Ultimate Sword Skill.

It is indeed a good thing to get new skills, but this set of sword skills is too random in Kirito's opinion, because it is completely a set of destructive and evil sword skills that sacrifice the durability of the sword itself. Yes, it is evil.

Sword skills, at least in Kirito's eyes, are indeed like this.

"'Pfft', what did you say?! Caster mistook you for the French Saint Jeanne d'Arc." Kirito spat out the coffee he just drank in his mouth. Fortunately, he remembered to turn his head, otherwise he would have just turned around.

That sip of coffee was sprayed on Saber's face. Imagine spraying it on King Arthur's face. Kirito said that he couldn't calm down.

"Yeah." Saber lowered her head and said with a very deep expression. She seemed to be suppressing the anger in her heart.

To say that she was just the French Saint Jeanne d'Arc, Saber was not very angry about this matter. However, just now, the Kotomine Church sent a message about the battle against Caster. During the battle,

The master who contributes the most to a servant can get a command spell. What Aster did, how could Saber, who has always believed in chivalry, tolerate this.

"Kirito, what do you think of this matter?" Emiya Kiritsugu, who was watching the surveillance video, suddenly raised his head and looked at Kirito and asked. Er's trap, he fought with me and used a command spell to escape.

I ordered the Lancer to attack me using a Command Spell, which means that the other party only has the last Command Spell left on him. For the reward of this Command Spell, he will come to participate no matter what." Kirito took a sip of coffee.

Then he analyzed it calmly.

"Can you beat that golden servant?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked about Archer for some reason. Naturally, he was very concerned about this powerful spirit that surpassed all the heroic spirits in the previous Holy Grail Wars.

Hearing this, Kirito's cheeks blushed slightly. Thinking of what happened last night, he didn't know how to deal with the relationship between the other party and himself. Moreover, he still loved Asuna deeply in his heart, and he didn't want to do it.

Tell her something that makes her unhappy.

"If it's a sneak attack and the opponent is careless, I'm 60% sure of victory. If it's a head-on battle... haha." Kirito smiled bitterly and continued: "To be honest, I'm not even 10% sure of victory.

None, but if we team up with Saber, I think we should be able to win in the frontal battle...probably." In the end, Kirito said still very uncertainly.

What Kirito said made everyone present feel particularly depressed.

The most incredible thing is Saber. You must know that if she does not release the Noble Phantasm, it is basically impossible to defeat Kirito. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Saber can be sure that Kirito is the best swordsman in this class.

Among all the Servants of the Holy Grail War, he had the most terrifying swordsmanship, but... when facing the Golden King, he actually said that he couldn't beat him.

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's all go rest and make adequate preparations for tonight's battle." Kirito spoke first to break the dull atmosphere.

"Rest? Fight?"

This time, everyone looked at Kirito with confusion, who was standing up, stretching and yawning. His sleepy eyes hidden in his bangs showed that he was extremely sleepy.

"Since Caster mistook Saber for Jeanne d'Arc Darhk, then Caster's true identity must be a loyal minister around Jeanne d'Arc Darhk. If this is really the case, then Caster will definitely come to see Saber tonight. At that time

It's time for a crusade, and there should be many Servants arriving at that time. After all, it's a reward for a Command Seal." Kirito shook his head and left the conference room, but suddenly stopped when he opened the door and was about to go out.

.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, I don't care how you deal with other servants and masters, but! Lancer and I have an agreement. If you take his master hostage to threaten Lancer, I will never let you go. You have an EX level alone.

Since I have the ability to move, I can survive forever even without your presence, and you also know that my moves are all sword skills, and there are not many places where magic power is used. Remember my words, this is not advice, but a threat."

Without looking back, Kirito left behind words full of indifference, closed the door and left with footsteps, leaving only Saber and the others who were still in the conference room in silence.

"Listen to Kirito, Kiritsugu. In terms of strength, he can completely suppress the Lancer. It will only take time to defeat him. If Kirito is angered because of this..." Irisviel advised softly from the side, looking at Kiritsugu.

With a gloomy face, she felt her heart tightening.

"I understand." Emiya Kiritsugu actually didn't want to have a serious relationship with Kirito, and it was exactly what Alice said, it was only a matter of time before Kirito defeated Lancer.

During the entire process, Maiya Kuu next to Emiya Kiritsugu remained as silent as a robot.

Saber looked at all this with a complex and shocked expression, and her heart felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. As a believer in chivalry, she looked down on her master's unscrupulous actions to achieve his goals.

, however, driven by the desire in her heart to change the past, she can endure any order given to her by the other party, even if it violates her belief as the King of Knights, as long as she can obtain the Holy Grail.

————————————————————————————————————

Night came quietly, but this night was destined to be a sleepless night for Emiya Kiritsugu and his followers.

"--Appeared."

All the main forces of the Einzbern camp gathered in the conference room again - Kiritsugu, Maiya, Kirito, and Saber. In front of these three people, Irisviel took the lives of the intruders captured by the barrier.

The image is displayed on the crystal ball.

The intruder was wearing a pitch-black cassock, with an ominous evil aura swaying on the clothes, and the red patterns on the clothes, as if they were stained with blood, were looming in the jungle.

"Is this the Caster?" Kiritsugu saw Caster for the first time. Irisviel nodded to him. The figure reflected in the crystal ball was the strange heroic spirit that blocked Saber last night.

"Oh, these eyes are so big that they can rival those of frogs." At this time, everyone ignored Kirito's sudden appearance. They were all well aware of Kirito's character of being able to complain at any time.

"But, what is he going to do?" What confused Irisviel was that Caster was leading a group of people behind him.

Caster did not act alone this time. He was leading about a dozen people behind him, striding forward in the forest. These people were all underage children, and the oldest among them was only a primary school student. All the children seemed to be

They were walking staggeringly like sleepwalkers, with Caster walking in front and leading them forward. There was no doubt that the children were under the control of Caster's magic.

Caster must have seen the supervisor's notice and kidnapped these children from near Fuyuki City.

"Irisviel, the enemy is tempting us." Saber said in a firm tone. If she relied on her foot power as a Servant, it would only take a few minutes to reach Caster's location. Saber's thoughts were also conveyed.

At Irisviel, Saber was extremely anxious at this moment and wanted to go out and beat up Caster.

However, the King of Knights cannot act arbitrarily. The group of children gathered behind Caster is the source of uneasiness for the King of Knights.

"They are hostages..., they must be." Kirito whispered sadly, and Saber nodded.

At this moment, Caster's beast-like eyes suddenly looked upward. Could it be that he had seen through Irisviel's "clairvoyance"!?

Caster stared in the direction of Irisviel, and raised his arms to bow to Irisviel with utmost sincerity. This was such a childish move for a heroic spirit who was a magician.

"I came to visit you as promised last night. Now please give me an order. Let me pay homage to that beautiful saint again."

Saber stared at Irisviel closely, urging her to give orders quickly. As a servant, the girl was ready to fight, but her master was still hesitant.

"...Ah. It seems that I still can't make up my mind. I'm also prepared to wait for a long time, so you can prepare slowly. Oops, it's such a boring game - can you let me borrow some from your territory?

Where's the corner?" Caster seemed to have read through Irisviel's thoughts, showing a look of contempt, as if he was performing a one-man show, and sneered and continued.

Then, Caster performed a restricted program directly in front of everyone. A child who had just solved the magic was crushed by Caster's hands like a watermelon. Red and white objects were scattered everywhere.

All over the place.

"Emiya Kiritsugu." Kirito looked at his master with eyes like eagle eyes.

"Kirito, go deal with Caster. Saber, you and Maiya will take Alice away from here. Choose the direction opposite to Caster." After a moment of silence, Emiya Kiritsugu finally spoke.

"Kirito." Kirito saw Saber's extremely serious expression and nodded seriously.

"I will never let Caster go." Kirito and Saber made a promise, a promise between swordsmen.
